I've been called a famed Cocktologist, modern-day Grecian Hedonist, and I manage Kent of Inglewood in Calgary. Over most things, I value quality. Quality possessions, quality food, quality drink, and quality experiences. My shop Kent of Inglewood focuses on having a wonderful experience of grooming ones-self and taking care of your presentation. We stock our shelves with products we believe in, including classic shaving gear, beard care, perfumes, axes and much more. All of our good fall into the category of quality and long-lasting, which is why we choose to carry Horace & Jasper leather goods and their sister brand Tremendous Beard Care products.
First, let me tell you a little about Buckskin Leather. Buckskin is our local, go-to leather supplier. The Schluessel family have been in the business of making or selling leather for four generations. They've got outlets here in Calgary, Nanaimo and now one Edmonton. The staff really knows their shit, and can answer any questions you could have about leather and the leather industry. As you can see from the Google virtual tour of the Calgary warehouse, it's an absolute wonderland for leather crafters!
Here is an insightful video about the traditional process of turning skins into leather from Hermann Oak, the tanner that produces our vegetable tanned leather. You'll be familiar with this great leather if you own one of our belts or wallets.
